Which things to make usable ? Daemon ? It's not my itch to start
services on windows:-)
Yes, the wheel was invented long ago - and we are still using the
simplistic hierarchical class loader + delegation.

That can be said about anything :-)
I'm making the compile optional - so if you don't explicitely ask for it
it'll not get compiled. When it's completely ready - I hope it will
replace Bootstrap/StandardClassLoader - so we'll still have 1 loader for
standalone.
If embeded - as I said, the intent is to not use the loader but the
embedor's loader - however ability to split tomcat in smaller components
and manage each separately should remain ( supported by the embedding
app loader ). That's why the loader is mirroring the fundamental
behavior of mlet/jboss/eclipse/osgi - i.e. repository of classloaders
delegating to each other.
